Rhombuses are a type of parallelogram, which means their opposite sides are always parallel, and their opposite angles are always equal. A square is the only type of rhombus where all four angles are equal, and the only rhombus that also meets the definition of a rectangle (all angles are 90 degrees).

That is correct.This is because a square has all the elements a rhombus has.A rhombus has 4 equal sides,just like a square does.And,a rhombus can't always be a square becase a square also contains 4 equal angles,while a rhombus doesn't.
